Abstract
The double lever corkscrew includes a spiral metal rod secured to a rack, a tubular body housing the spiral metal rod, and two subassemblies. Each subassembly includes a lever arm and a toothed wheel meshing with the rack. The lever arms are movable between a folded-back position against the tubular body and a position spaced away from the tubular body. For each subassembly, the device for attaching the lever arm to the toothed wheel is arranged to pass from an active state and an inactive state. There is a device for holding the device for attaching in their inactive state when the lever arms are positioned in their folded-back position against the tubular body.
Claims14
A corkscrew system comprising:
- a spiral metal rod having a free end and an end secured to a rack,
- a tubular body housing the spiral metal rod and having a lower section fit the neck of a bottle and an upper section forming a guidance head translating and rotating the rack along and around an axis of the tubular body between a low position and a high position in which the free end of the spiral metal rod extends respectively in the lower section and in a central section of the tubular body,
- two subassemblies, each subassembly comprising a lever arm and a toothed wheel meshing with the rack, said two subassemblies being mounted to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the tubular body on articulation shoulders bordering the guidance head, wherein the lever arms are movable between a folded position against the tubular body and a position spaced away from the tubular body, for each subassembly, means for attaching the lever arm to the toothed wheel arranged to pass to an active state in which the lever arm is attached to the toothed wheel, and an inactive state in which the lever arm is detached from the toothed wheel, wherein the corkscrew is characterized in that it comprises means for holding the attachment means in their inactive state when the lever arms are positioned in their folded-back position against the tubular body.
